Heading into the final week of the regular season, Sounders FC can still finish anywhere from second to seventh in the Western Conference.
Seattle had an opportunity to clinch its spot in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs on Sunday, but the club’s 1-1 draw with the Houston Dynamo leaves its postseason hopes in the balance. The Rave Green might need to earn all three points against Real Salt Lake this weekend to secure their berth. Here are the latest playoff odds as estimated by ESPN’s Paul Carr.
FC Dallas has already clinched the top seed in the Western Conference – and they are tied with the New York Red Bulls for the Supporters’ Shield lead – but the No. 2 spot is still out there for the taking. Sounders FC would need a victory on Sunday to have a chance at earning a bye or hosting a match in next week’s single-elimination Knockout Round.
Here is a look at the current standings and the remaining schedules for each team in the West.
FC Dallas: Sunday vs. San Jose Earthquakes
LA Galaxy: Sunday at Sporting Kansas City
Vancouver Whitecaps: Sunday vs. Houston Dynamo
Portland Timbers: Sunday vs. Colorado Rapids
Seattle Sounders FC: Sunday vs. Real Salt Lake
Sporting Kansas City: Wednesday vs. Colorado Rapids; Sunday vs. LA Galaxy
